Georgia LB lists Clemson in his top five

By Phil Kornblut

LB Ty Tomlin of Marietta, GA has come up with his top five and in order he has North Carolina, Tennessee, Clemson, Ole Miss and NC State in that group. Clemson recruiter Brent Venables was in for a visit last week. "He was telling me I'm his guy and they need me to come in and they are going to lead in the ACC in everything, all the good stuff," Tomlin said. Georgia, Miami, NC State and North Carolina have also been by. Tennessee is to be in Wednesday and Wake Forest is coming to his spring game Friday. Tomlin said he has the Tar Heels out front because of his relationship with head coach Larry Fedora and with his recruiter. "They are talking about me coming in and starting as a freshman," he said. "Playing time is a big factor for me." Tomlin added that Clemson has a chance to overtake the Tar Heels and Tennessee is also in the mix to do so. He has visited North Carolina, Wake Forest, Kentucky and Tennessee and plans to visit Clemson this summer. Last season Tomlin had 128 tackles with 20 for losses and 2 interceptions.
